Harvey
And he wins it for England with his second goal
Hope he stays.
If not
Perhaps this is overly cynical, but 1.) you really would expect a player with almost 150 senior appearances for Liverpool to dominate a U21 tournament, and 2.) while nicely struck, both goals do look like they are scored against kids.
Germany already 2 goals up against France. Woltemade got the second. Again, it looked like he was scoring against kids, but he is around 2 meters tall to put it in perspective.
I think, regardless of what happens with Tuchel, Carsley should be the next England manager
Yeah, it really shouldn’t be surprising if he’s among the leading players of the tournament. Especially if he was also hungry for game time, etc.
That’s not how the england manager works. You hire one who is perceived to address the deficiency of the last guy. See Southgate to Tuchel - we went from steady but boring and uninspiring to volatile but progressive.
Given that, you cannot go from one foreigner who wont sing the anthem to another foreigner who wont sing the anthem even more pointedly.
Jokes aside, it might happen earlier than expected. I foresee a Capello-like World Cup for England, possibly worse.
Not U-21’s, but the Dutch U-19’s defeated 9-time champs Spain 1-0 yesterday to claim the Euro championship for the first time in that age group.
Hup Holland Hup!
I suppose that’s the long and short of it.
That’s the difference between the top two head and neck height above Elliott and two goals headed in.
